While Daddy Was Gone....

Since Chris was gone all week and it rained every day I had a lot to do to keep these little ones busy and entertained so I wouldn't have any bad days.

We had a "dance party" every night after dinner, which was perfect since it wore Kayla out. She also wore me out, who would have thought that dancing around for 3o minutes straight holding a 4 1/2 month old could be so exhausting. Brooklyn loved dancing, she was laughing out loud while watching Kayla bounce around and shake her booty.

Here is Kayla done dancing.
I busted out her Tinkerbell tent to keep her entertained, she loved it. Although she did get a little upset that I wouldn't crawl through the tube. Sorry mommy barely fits! For dinner I wasn't about to cook anything to gourmet for a picky 2 year old so we had the always a hit, box Mac & Cheese, I know you are all salivating at this delicious meal. Hey Kayla loved it!
On Thursday night we had Movie Night and watched the movie "Up" in bed. I asked Kayla if she liked the movie after it was over and she said "No, it was scary" It was a bit intense for a little kid, I wasn't too impressed with it either. Don't worry though she still slept okay that night.




Daddy came home friday night to some yummy chocolate chip cookies Kayla helped make and a very excited little girl!!

Just too cute!!!

My first born cried for pretty much the first 4 months of her life...straight thru...and dancing was one of the only things that kept her happy, so we danced A LOT...and you're right, dancing while holding a baby is quite the workout!!
